A slow celebration
The Kitchen, 1039 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-544-5973
The national Food & Wine Magazine’s February issue features a local Boulder foodie, Peggy Markel. Markel is a travel adventurer and cook, and is currently celebrating her “Simply Indian” feature in Food & Wine. To help, the good folks at Boulder’s sustainable restaurant The Kitchen are hosting their own “Simply Indian” feast. Chef and Kitchen owner Hugo Matheson will join Markel to cook the dishes that inspired the article on Feb. 9. The event is $95 per person and includes a multi-course dinner with wine pairings.
Help join in the celebration of the woman who helped bring the Slow Food movement to America by enjoying a night of Indian fare. To make reservations, call 303-544-5973 or e-mail ray@thekitchencafe.com.
The new guy in town
Arugula Bar e Ristorante, 2785 Iris Ave., Boulder, 303-443-5100
Though a few of our favorite Boulder establishments have closed their doors in recent weeks, the area has no shortage of good food. In fact, a few new restaurants are popping up in the wake. The latest is Arugula Bar e Ristorante, a fine dining enterprise that focuses on fare from northern Italy. The restaurant will be placing its emphasis on authentic, simple, natural and local ingredients. Arugula’s executive chef, Alec Schuler, is the son of immigrant parents, and is well-known for his abilities in the kitchen. In addition to the fine cuisine, Arugula will be a place of ambience, with artwork from Schuler’s antique collections, wood flooring by Boulder-based Sustainable Flooring, hand-painted ceramic tiles, crystal stemware and 100-percent post-consumer recycled menus. For more information on this latest culinary venture, visit Arugula’s website at www.arugularistorante.com.
A roundhouse kick to your mouth
Roundhouse Spirits, available in various Boulder County restaurants and liquor stores, www.roundhousespirits.com.
You just can’t stop Boulder from producing fine liquids. With a number of supported and successful microbreweries and wineries in the area, Alex Nelson wondered why Boulder County had yet to produce some spirits. He decided to take matters into his own hands and formed Roundhouse Spirits this past year. Roundhouse Spirits is the Front Range’s first premier micro-distillery, and the newbie on the scene is seeing great success. The company is announcing expansions and new personnel after great first-quarter reception. Roundhouse Gin has been flying off of local liquor-store shelves, and the new Coretto liqueur is a hit with coffee and liquor lovers alike. Coretto, just released last month, is a coffee liqueur made from Malawi beans that are locally roasted at Boulder’s Unseen Bean. Add to that a hint of vanilla and molasses and you’ve got a sweet treat. Roundhouse products can be found at a variety of local restaurants and liquor stores. For a list of those locations, or for more information on the company, visit www.roundhousespirits.com.
